   Therapeutic level of Metadate for adults?? (ADD - Attention Deficit Disorder board)

ds=dear son

I'm actually running out of Lamictal and Metatdate CD. Not the Clonopin. I called and they said they can't call them into the pharmacy and it's 30mins away from my house, so I'm not driving up there for a script when the appt is Thursday (if I still go). I'm calling the new one on Monday to see if I can get in any sooner.

As for how much Clonopin, the bottle is downstairs but I take 1 twice a day (was up to three times but I got dizzy so I backed it down to 2). I don't remember their mg. but I think it's 10.


DS, how cute!

Maybe we mixed spellings here, because Klonopin is a benzodiazepine used for anxiety, and 10 mgs. would be a huge, huge dose. You keep spelling it Clonopin...do you mean Clonidine instead? That would be an entirely different story, that's just a blood pressure med which can be a bit of a downer effect, but isn't an outright tranquilizer like Klonopin. It may have some rebound hypertension from discontinuation, but no seizures I don't think.

You are cold-turkeying Lamictal??? WHat is your doctor thinking?? I don't think you are supposed to do that either, it's an anti epileptic and you could have withdrawal seizures.

Here's the prescription PDF link......http://us.gsk.com/products/assets/us_lamictal.pdf
